As it turns out I have a rooting interest today, though I don’t expect much will come of it. I’m a pretty fair fan of Syracuse because I spent several years working there as a Life Guard and Water Safety Instructor. Never went to see a game live either at Manley or the Dome (or …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 1 Play Ins
March Madness as in I must be insane to attempt this. It’s an unbelievable amount of work. Clicking through on the team’s name brings you to their school basketball home page. Clicking through on their record brings you to their game results in case you’re foolish enough to try and handicap and are involved in …

NCAA Men’s Tournament 2016: National Championship
Villanova. You heard it here first. Syracuse didn’t win which makes me kind of sad, but North Carolina didn’t exactly dominate and Villanova did- 44 points against a fellow #2 and all North Carolina could muster was 17 against a #10 Seed? It will be ugly and the Tarheels will be on the receiving end. …

NCAA Men’s Tournament 2016: National Semi-Finals (Round of 4)
A Semi-Final of Upsets. Well, it’s actually hard to call a #2 Seed over a #1 Seed an upset, but never-the-less I think I can say that very few people actually expected Villanova to win over Kansas which was the #1 Seed in the entire Tournament and consensus #1 Team in the country. Even I …

NCAA Men’s Tournament 2016: Regional Finals (Round of 8) Day 2
So, Syracuse. If you are a long time reader you know that I went there for a while, compared to UConn it was a dream. Went to school nights, worked as a Swimming Teacher for learning disabled kids by day. Summers, because I was full time at one of the toughest jobs they had, I …
